New Delhi/ Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) [India], September 19 (ANI/NewsVoir): World Ozone Day is observed every year on September 16 to highlight and spread awareness about the significance of the Ozone layer for the protection of the Earth.
Addressing the children from all across the world on the occasion of International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer at a virtual program, the Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Consumer Affairs Food and Public Distribution, Govt. of India Ashwini Kumar Choubey said, "This year also marks the 35th anniversary of the implementation of the Montreal Protocol which was designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances responsible for ozone depletion. The Montreal Protocol serves as a powerful example of multilateralism in action." "The many problems facing the world - from deadly viruses to the climate change crisis - is a reminder that we can succeed in working together for the common good," he added.
